An hour later, the relatives finally finished their tea, made their pre-orders, and were willing to leave.
After Mother Pan sent them off, she sat beside her daughter-in-law and asked, "Xue'er, are you sure your friend can meet this demand?"
"The number of grains and other things your aunts ordered is not small at all. If you fail to get the stuff, you might be blamed by them."
Bai Xue'er folded the paper and put it in her bag before she turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, don't worry. This friend of mine is actually Lu Jueyu."
When Mother Pan heard her words, she was taken aback.
After a moment, she said, "Jiajia said that their brigade had a good harvest last year and they got a lot of grains. But no matter how many grains Jueyu receives, it's still impossible for her to sell so many."
"Mother, I had asked Jueyu to help me buy some grains before. While she hasn't replied to my letter yet, I'm sure that she and her husband are able to sell the grains," Bai Xue'er replied confidently. freewebnøvel.com
"How can you be so sure? What if they are unwilling to sell the grains?" Mother Pan asked again.
Lowering her voice, Bai Xue'er explained slowly, "Mother, you must have noticed that the distribution of the supplies was delayed last month. The reason is because the government no longer has any reserve grains."
"But even if it was delayed, we still received the supplies after all. What's more, this matter and that matter are different," Mother Pan said with doubt.
Bai Xue'er smiled and said, "It's because my husband was able to buy 100 tons of rice from his maternal cousin, and the supplier of those grains is actually the Li family."
The moment Mother Pan heard this, she was so shocked that her mouth fell open. It took her a while to regain her composure before she asked, "Does the Li family have that kind of ability?"
Bai Xue'er nodded and said, "Jiajia told me that her husband and his brothers often go to the mountains and they actually found several grain fields there. Those grains, vegetables, and mushrooms were all harvested from the mountains."
Hearing this, Mother Pan felt confused and asked, "If the mountains have so many resources, why didn't the government claim the mountains? If they are able to harvest grains and distribute them to the stores, wouldn't that be better?"
"From what I heard, while the mountains have a lot of resources, they are very dangerous. The deeper the area, the more wild beasts there are. Several people died years ago after being eaten by a tiger. There are also people who have seen wolves and wild boars in the mountains," Bai Xue'er said.
"With how dangerous the mountains are, the government won't bother to claim them and take the risk. What if they couldn't find anything and the soldiers got killed by the wild beasts instead? It would be a huge loss to the country," she added.
After listening to her daughter-in-law's explanation, Mother Pan finally realized that her son-in-law not only spent money, but also risked his life going into the mountains.
